Strategic Alliance Live Review & Bonus

November 19, 2021 by Rune Ellingsen

Strategic Alliance Live Review, – covering the event with passion, in front of you, right now. <3

What to expect in this post?

The details of the Networking event.

A FULL interview with the host Tom Matzen including:
Who Tom is.
What his values are.
What the event covers.
When the event starts.
Who it is for.
The double money-back guarantee.
The 10 buyers guarantee.
The Exclusive Strategic Alliance Live Review Bonus.
How to Get Access.

What is the ‘Strategic Alliance Live’?

The Strategic Alliance Live event is an event for networking. X1000.

This time around the REAL core topic…

…and really the best reason to get in is:

“How to get a SURGE of NEW Buyers in 3 days“

“I have generated for my clients over $2 billion with this… and it costs nothing out of pocket!” — Jay Abraham

Tom Matzen quotes: “Give Me 15 Minutes… And I’ll Show You A Risk-Free Way To Acquire A Surge Of New Buyers For FREE”

“WITHOUT posting on social media, running paid ads, doing content marketing, cold outreach, webinars, or even building an email list!”

“Sounds Like a Pipe Dream?”
“Not if you use a simple new risk-free strategy called…”
“Leveraged Acquisition”

And the guarantee for that bold claim:

“Get at least 10 New AMAZING Deal partners that put buyers in your world DURING the event itself, or the host will not only personally give you your money back, but DOUBLE the investment.”

See it yourself here:

When is the Strategic Alliance Live?

For the date of the event Itself, it goes live a select number of times per year.

The dates will be announced here. And the next one is:

December 1-3, 2021 –Tickets can be found here>>

The pre-event training, for those who are interested, is on Saturday, Nov 27 from 8am to 4pm PST.

The invitation-only PlatVIP special event is Mon Nov 29 and Tues Nov 30 from 8am to 5pm PST (

The main event is Wed Dec 1 to Fri Dec 3 from 8am to 5pm PST.

We do have a bonus day, a brand new event we’re calling High Ticket Program Bootcamp, on Sat Dec 4 from 8am to 5pm PST.

So, WHY join and network, other than the insane in-your-face guarantee?

“We Guarantee YOU, Will… Get $100K or More In New Strategic Alliances & Joint Venture Deals In Just 3 Days During This LIVE, Virtual Networking Event..“

Yeah, that one right there.

The shortest way for exponential growth for a business strategically IMHO…

Is to network to reach Other People’s targeted Audience. (OPA)

So it makes sense, to include this in your chores as a marketer if you are looking to grow your own business and also to align yourself with opportunities ahead.

So, a “networking event”???

I know what some of you are thinking…

You’ve spent time going to networking events in the past and gotten dismal results right?

Spending too much time and energy, getting Zoom fatigue.

All talk, but no real “buyers” right?

It has to do with the setting.

The “theme if you will…

So let’s change the scenario from all talk, pitch, and HOPE…

TO:

A high caliber digital event that teaches how to network with the right people that are INTERESTED in mutually beneficial growth opportunities.

I’ll repeat that part as it is so vital to understand as a differentiator in the space.

A high caliber digital event that teaches how to network with the right people that are INTERESTED in mutually beneficial growth opportunities.

And, you are taught how to sell/present your services DURING the event and after.

But the event is about giving,

So the mindset you should have BEFORE you join is to give.

And the rest will follow.

I’ll explain more but in short terms…

People attend this event to get the ability to both get to know like-minded professionals and to build equally beneficial partnerships where people help each other with business.

This can be done by 2 people that have a podcast or a course, and they cross-promote each other.

Or, you can have a product that helps someone in particular and you can either sell it, or give it away, and possibly expect the same in return.

You can also, just sell a service. Not all the people you meet will be a perfect cross-promotion partner, and everyone is aware so don’t think you don’t fit in if you attend and don’t see a 100% match from the get-go.

You’ll learn techniques that allow you to Ethically, Morally, and Legally acquire red-hot buyers from successful influencers in your exact niche for FREE!

All you really need is to use this one simple trick Tom calls:

The “Leveraged Acquisition Method”.

Here’s what Shannon Mackey, Founder, Hip Cat Society said about this unique new method after witnessing its full potential:

This approach shifted and skyrocket our SAAS Platform, a complete game-changer. I got affiliates and partners, plus 122 specific leads. Brilliant minds surrounding me. Love it!!

And here’s what Stephen Caffery, Founder, Million Dollar Course Creator Program said:

This method made me amp up and step up to make a better life for myself and for my clients. It added six figures in the first 60 days, and almost seven figures in the first six months. Can’t wait to take this to the next level.

And another one: Daniel McCraine, Chief Growth Strategist

After applying this method I can easily see a clear path to 10X my business this year, if I put in the effort and if I do the work.

You’ll learn

The 3 critical marketing shifts that are turning everything upside down
What the “Leveraged Acquisition Method” actually is (and what it’s NOT)
Why you can’t afford to ignore it (especially in 2022)
And how you can use it to build a thriving business FAST, even if you’re a beginner

Who is behind the Strategic Alliance Live

The crew behind this is none other than:

Tom Matzen

Tony Banta

David Kellam.

The “three stooges/wise men”, you choose 😉

In all seriousness though:

They are solid professionals with many years behind their belts in their respective fields.

The head of operations though is Tom.

Who is Tom Matzen?

Strategic Alliance Live Review Tom Matzen

Tom Matzen, loves coffee so much, and entrepreneurism, he has started over 187 successful coffee shops, and he has a bestselling book on the topic.

Over his 37+ year career, he’s helped more than 10,000 entrepreneurs across four continents and dozens of industries generate over one hundred million in sales across the globe.

In fact, people hire Tom to build 7 and 8-figure authority businesses for them fast…

“Because most are so busy wearing all their hats and doing the things they hate…”

“They just can’t seem to find the time or energy to do it themselves.”

“So I help them do what they enjoy most:”

“Spreading their wisdom and making an impact.”

So marketing is in his blood, as well as coffee. Dubbed the “natural presenter”, right here and now.

Rich Schefren, Owner Strategic Profits. Widely recognized as an Internet marketing pioneer and one of the world’s top experts on online business strategy.

“Tom is someone I’ve known for quite a long time. He’s been in the game of entrepreneurship for 37 years, he’s had 80 plus businesses. He’s made millions, he’s lost millions, and he’s made them again. So he really comes from the school of hard knocks, he’s the real deal. He’s worked with Jay Abraham and I on different activities that we had in the past.”

In fact, Tom is so dedicated to other peoples success that he has a mission greater than him, in my humble opinion :

“The mission at our Nonprofit Entrepreneur Empowerment Institute is to:

Reverse The Failure Rate Of Small Businesses… And Empower Them With The Right Strategies, Frameworks, And Tools To Thrive

In fact, we’re actually so hell-bent on this…

I implement a strict result-based methodology in every single business I’m part of.

Either people get up-front results from my methods, or they don’t pay.

Simple as that.”

Why the “Leveraged Acquisition Method” is THE Superior Way to Build Your Business FAST

Simple.

It’s because of something called “Upside Leverage”.

Read more on this here.

The last event had 3+ days in a row, and during the event, you switch zoom rooms to talk to a number of people at a time.

In total, this is 3 workdays, 8 hour days or so, this varies.

And if you are remotely interested in ways to build your list, by using other people’s audiences…

…like free exposure, leads, and more to SCALE your business more in 3 days than you have the rest of the year…

Who is Strategic Alliance Live for:

Authors

Consultants

Marketers

Coaches

Entrepreneurs

Service Providers

ETC

If you relate to ANY of these, read on…

My PERSONAL opinion on the event and the crew behind it is as follows.

The event rocks!

PERIOD!

Value is potentially 10X at the low end. 1000X or more can be achieved.

What can you expect from the Strategic Alliance Live?

The Strategic Alliance Live event is organized to perfection.

You can rest assured that you are taken care of.

Everyone gets the same agenda and it normally starts with Tom presenting and sharing what the event is going to cover, in detail, and all relevant information in that regard from the get-go.

First-timers have the same potential to get in front of the right people at this event as the pros that are attending.

There is a right and a wrong way to network in this event.

You will be taught how to do it right, and not only once, this is the core know-how that you will get out of the event.

That and the results that follow.

Expect to meet international best-selling authors, marketers, coaches, service-based business owners, and more.

Every day you are entered into several Zoom rooms, where you introduce yourself and your business, the way you’re being taught. Each session runs anywhere from 10-15 minutes to 1 hour or so if I recall correctly.

This might be a little different from the last event, but not much.

The Strategic Alliance Live event is intense.

Just so you know.

Bring COFFEE!

There will be breaks, and not all of it is you in Zoom, but also you listening to the event organizer, Tom.

But, it is fast-paced so my best advice is:

To come prepared.

Have a notebook for the event ready, be sure to write stuff down!

Also, BLOCK all communication, like your mobile and other browser tabs. You will be needing to use your full attention on the Strategic Alliance Live as it runs.

You’ll want to do that and you’ll get why right away.

The EVENT of THE YEAR!

Not just my words, IMHO 🙂

Strategic Alliance Live Review from Sandra Hamilton:

Sandra Hamilton, Rapid Transformation Therapist & Motivational Speaker

I’ve made wonderful partnerships and I’ve started working with people I never thought I’d even meet or speak to. I’m coming from a place where I had a really small list, now I have Joint Venture Partners and I’m speaking on podcasts.

Strategic Alliance Live Review from Steven Sashen:

Steven Sashen, Co-Founder and CEO of Xero Shoes

As a result of applying the method, the number of very high level influencers, podcaster, and smart e-commerce people, and smart PR people and smart marketing people in general I met was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

Strategic Alliance Live Review from Debbie A. Anderson:

Debbie A Anderson, Creator & Developer, Vibrational Energy

Using this method I had to work my bootie off, don’t expect to sit there like a drone, that won’t work. You connect, you talk, you interact with thousands of other very giving, very open, sharing entrepreneurs from all around the globe.

Strategic Alliance Live Review from Lois Koffi:

Lois Koffi, Top 20 Podcast Host & Professional Speaker

I’m going to give away six figures this year to my affiliates, and potentially making a million dollars this year working with like-minded, high level people from all over the globe. I’m now thinking differently on how to run my affiliate programs.

Quick Start Challenge Review

October 16, 2018 by Rune Ellingsen

The Quick Start Challenge Week 5 is here and this is the Quick Start Challenge review.

I have made a full review on the course featuring a short video and some more details which you can see below.

Please forgive any grammatical mistakes, hair do and makeup. Haha.

I just woke up and wanted to shoot this :=)

UPDATE: There was no Quickstart Challenge 2019.

This offer is now closed

The Quickstart Challenge from Dea

n Holland and Craig Crawford all in all, has been a course like few others.

What I mean by that is that you get so much support for the tasks that you are given that the failure rate is really low.

So, for anyone SERIOUS about their business, then like us in the course that have taken action, the “backup” is IN PLACE.

There is weekly webinars.

One for training, and one for Questions And Answers.

There is a very active, caring and sharing Facecbook group with all the members that joined there.

For the admission price of $14,95 you get TONS of value.

The training itself has been laid out very gently with both coaching from Dean, and easy weekly tasks to overcome to complete the course.

Some of the earliest adopters saw returns on investments as they had the chance to promote and make commissions in a short window of time right after getting in.

And the tactic revealed is usable at anytime with other products.

Beginners will have huge advantage of this course as it lays out a proven plan for online visibility growth and list building.

Which is fundamentally what you really should focus on both as new and moving forward.

There are countless products out there that teaches “new” and “shiny” tactics that does NOT come with the support you need if you are between a rock and a hard place.

Dean Holland has the merits to teach and the Quick Start Challenge course is a great entry point for someone looking to find a great mentor to learn from.

What I don’t like about the Quick Start Challenge:

The fact that it is ONLY 5 weeks is the downside!

That is all.

The rest:

Friendly, caring coaches…

Very good support.

And a system that works for the cost of a pizza.

You have the option, MAYBE… To join next year… BUT…

I have NO IDEA if Dean Holland And Craig Crawford decides to take the time to repeat this.

So if you were looking to to get in like now, SORRY!

This offer is now closed

I am very glad I joined the course, I joined just to see what the product was as I like what they teach.

If you are looking to see more of Dean Holland and Craig Crawford’s products, you can of course do a search online for more.

Craig has been launching some products which you may want to see.

Keep in mind, that these products below are not related to the Quick Start Challenge at all, other than one being a optional add on after purchase.

See it here

This offer is now closed

That covers this Quick Start Challenge Review.

18 ways to increase productivity

March 16, 2017 by Rune Ellingsen

These 18 Ways to Increase Productivity for Internet Marketers are ultra effective and absolutely must be treated as such.

Eighteen ways to increase productivity should give you enough to get pumped.

Apply just a few and you will notice a difference if you are not used to being this disciplined with yourself.

If you want to use the ways to increase productivity then you can give these hacks you choose three weeks or more before you make a judgment on how much more you have done.

This is just because it takes three weeks to make a habit. Then you will have no choice but to become more productive as a direct result of memorizing and making the habit.

When working at home:

These tricks may aid.

1.Work 15 minutes.

Use any Timer. Your blood-flow is far from optimal when you work from home. Unless you stand and type that is. – I must admit I have some tasks where I sit and type and type as I do now and it is not in my best interest to just get up and get distracted so TEST before you choose what tasks are suitable for this exercise.

2. Rest 15 minutes

Say you manage to do 15 minutes of work then 15 minutes of whatever, then you can get something to eat, you can do the dishes, you can play some music, you can take a walk or a short run… And many other things just to get your mind off and your mind sharp.

3. Write Down What Your Next Task is.

Keep GOALS in mind at all time. The more goals you set that you CAN make and actually DO make will boost your momentum and confidence so you have the ultimate snowball effect. You want to have a few up to many reachable goals as you can during one day. Learn to measure the time it takes you to complete certain tasks.

4. Cross it off your list

The importance of doing the check marks: You want to reach as many “CHECK. DONE WITH THAT TASK, moments…” as possible, to boost your momentum and self-esteem so you are lit and seeking the next challenge. This ensures your mastering of new fears, which is the stopper of growth in many businesses.

5. Write Daily tasks/goals, weekly, monthly, yearly.

Keeping a daily task sheet is good. But when you do only that you need to make up new tasks every day, and for good goal setting standards you want to have bigger goals also that may take longer to accomplish but reap more harvest for your business. These Tasks that a business would want to have should be at least: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly. You can add quarterly and you may also want to think a bit about your direction before setting the wrong or right goals, because you now may have gotten more to chew on than first anticipated after point 3 with the DAILY task. Stick to what you are comfortable with in the beginning but make goals. Do not worry too much if you get delayed a little if a task is taking longer than anticipated. Just KEEP FOCUS. The most important thing is to finish.

6. Spend 30 minutes on exercise in the morning.

This ensures blood flows in your brain with easy. Sitting too much will make it slower. Starting the day with at least 30 minutes of light or heavy exercise is a surefire way to increase your blast off on the day.

7. Spend 30 minutes on meditation during the day.

I suggest you make a judgment call and try to feel when your body needs it. Usually, that would be when you feel stressed. If you are not in tune with our timing of the tasks or not settled with spending more time than wanted then take that deep breathing exercise and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Possibly find a video on Youtube for relation meditation to aid you.

8. Drink Liquids, water coffee smoothie.

Having some energy in your beverage and enough of it is a wise choice so you also feel your metabolism functioning properly. Water, one glass first thing in the morning. And also throughout the day. Coffee, if you like it, is a great energizer. The same can be said about Yerba Mate which is a similar effect like coffee but without the jitters. Smoothies can be super-healthy and can also contain anything from juice and bananas to algae and so called Superfoods and Nootropics which is a nutritional category based around mind enhancing supplements. You can live on smoothies alone and feel light in body AND mind. This aids the overall energy level a lot. Not essential but wanted to add it in here as it really has benefits for the head if you use the right supplements.

9. Eat healthily.

Aside from a diet based on foods that will enhance your cognition and speed, you must think blood-flow. Don’t binge so you get stuffed and work slow. Low energy food, gives lower scores, plain and simple.

10. Read Books.

The MOST important part in a lot of Entrepreneurs life is constant learning and copying what works. Read books on the topics you want to get better in. Get the best books. And benefit from somebody else’s hard work leapfrogging years in growth. Be sure to pay for the books 🙂 ( Why books, because the PC-monitor needs a break.)

11. Listen To Mindset and Growth material.

Same principle, learning from the masters. Cannot be understated and you want to include learning from more than one medium. So reading is one thing, listening is another. I find it practicable for times when traveling or meditating/relaxing.

12. Make a Mindmap.

Use Software Like Freemind or Xmind (or similar) and create Mindmap like the rough example included below here. Get the bird’s eye view of your sites, funnels, business overall and structure your business the way you want it to. Just using the mind and remembering this is not easy, looking at the Mindmap gives you a clear vision on all the parts at once. Without you needed to thin k and try to remember everything moving part. Super “handy” stuff which gives clarity in the growth process fast.

13. Organize Your Tabs In ORDER.

From the first being the most important tab to check every morning, like your stats, email etc. – Your Browser Tabs should be of utmost importance to have IN ORDER like the serious businessman or woman you are. It might be a bad idea to put Facebook there just because you use it, unless you use it only for work. Email, Todoist. Server Access. Whatever YOU use or SHOULD be using daily, MUST be put in order ranging in the importance of tasks related to Tab up there. If you just felt an urge to re-organize then you know you’re onto something.

14. Use Todoist.

In the tabs, you can put Todoist.com, it helps you organize your tasks easily. I have looked at several of these planners and this is at the moment the one I went for as it is more or less exactly what I need for keeping track of my schedule with smaller and medium tasks.

15. Avoid all distractions.

What I am talking about is TV, video games, and things that take you away from a good roll… Steer clear for as much as you possibly can when you have a work week for maximum results. – TV and Newspapers information stays in your head all day. Your mind subconsciously thinks about it. Say you started the day reading the news and the news sucked, you might be feeling a little depressed as opposed to not reading the news. It is one thing to stay up to date with some news, but do you need to see them every day or would you rather grow more as a person spending that precious time in the morning preparing yourself for the day?

16. Chill!

You work HARD, and deserve and NEED to chill. Relax when you feel you are working on fumes. Take a day off or two. Then get back into it when refreshed. Often 4-5 days do a lot of good if a period has been long. This depends entirely on your situation but To say it like it is, entrepreneurs without focus get burned out. When tired we can make mistakes so it is important to stay on top of that game as that is what you want, top performance, right? =) So remember to take a breather and get back stronger.

17. Write Down On Paper The Tasks.

You want to be done and your thoughts on projects. – This is just as Mindmaps and Todoist a great way to memorize and learn at the same time. When we note something down on paper we commit to the task as it is greater than punching buttons on a keyboard… It gives that tasks higher meaning and a purpose and you much more likely to accomplish a written task than any other way, without writing it down.

18. Use Whiteboards in addition to all.

They can be big and give a great view on your wall for Mindmaps, notes presentations and drawing… You name it. (Highly recommended!)

Other ways to increase productivity include sometimes also music. – Music will give you a good mood if you’re into that then. Also, it stimulates your brain so it get’s creative. Depending on the task ahead and need for inspiration or not.

This is an option that goes into the chill part, the energy part, and the creative part.

Other things worth mentioning may be glasses for eye constraint and exercise ball for your “mouse arm”, this is for the long term heavy user.

I would advise getting a hold of something like that at some point as I need it myself 🙂

When using mind maps you see a clearer path to your goal.

See here for a rough: (I did write that you need to blog a lot, but the numbers are not necessarily correct IN the image. For a blog to get the traffic it gets MORE if you post more but you can blog less than 5-6-7 days a week and still get traction with organic website traffic momentum.

Click the image above for zooming in and out.
What I mean is that we need variation in our work so we keep inspired.

Follow these simple rules and be sure to get some work done every day.

After all this is your business and it won’t run completely on it’s own without your dedication.

Other things you should take in consideration is the use of something called Vision Boards.

The idea is that you get several images of your goals like what you want to achieve by getting successful. Like for instance a picture of a house, car, location and money and whatever you want.

Outsourcing using Fiverr

November 6, 2015 by Rune Ellingsen

Outsourcing using Fiverr is one of the ways to cut down on your workload in order to get more things done faster and for cheaps. Starting from just $5.00!

In this post, I will discuss the ins and outs of outsourcing with Fiverr.

Outsourcing as a technique for getting tedious work done, or instead of learning a new skillset to operate with… is GOLDEN!

There are many sites out there which work as portals for people wanting to either sell or buy services.

First a little company overview:

Fiverr came online a few years back and quickly became a monster portal for online marketers to utilize.
Outsourcing with Fiverr became a given for many tasks such as:
Link building, writing services, video editing, video making, press release submission, blog comments, editing code, making christmas cards and a video of a singing man in a banana costume among others.

The gigs are plentiful and just as weird as you want ’em OR just as pro as you need ’em.

Outsourcing using Fiverr is a great timesaver and as you may suspect, if you did not already know, the gigs start at only five measly bucks.

Some gigs have extras, like if someone has done a great job and they take only a Fiverr for it and the gig is worth more, the seller may have an option of accepting extra donations for the exceptional work.
Also you have banner design or design in general where often times people who has outsourced that part of their project using Fiverr may get a design which needs a little refining.
In these cases the seller may have the option of extra editing or not. The prices vary from 5 bucks per extra and up to 20 bucks from what I have seen so far.

In these cases you open a dialogue and explain what exactly is “off” from what you were expecting and then you can state what you think would do the trick for you.

Communicating design is a skill of it’s own.

Often times you can get a really good design even though it is perhaps not what you had in mind exactly but it’s so good that you want to keep it. In these cases you simply have to either communicate better when ordering or simply accept that this is a part of the game and just do the best of what you have. You can always order a edit if the seller provides it. Use your own judgement in these cases so you have a good experience.

When you consider outsourcing using Fiverr you also may have concerns about the quality of the gigs.

Some of them are cheap considered to other sites and sometimes this comes with a catch.

On Fiverr however you will get good gigs at a low cost either way.

My experiences with Fiverr has been very good.

You have sellers with RATINGS and this is of course worth noticing before making an order.

Some vendors are new and have no particular rating or some may have poor ratings.

The ratings are given by the buyers who can choose to rate if they are pleased with the co-operation and the result.

There will always be some who are not pleased with the gig even if the vendor did their part. That is just based on customer behaviour.
Like for instance a seller may have 1000 good ratings and say 10 bad. Usually this means the gig is worth it.

Outsourcing with Fiverr is a breeze.
The websites design is easy on the eyes.
The order process is step by step.
The site is secure and will give you a great return on your investement, on average.

Click the image below this text to go to Fiverr.

And the results speak for themselves.
Fiverr started their online portal in 2010 and reaches over 110K U.S. monthly people.

Personally, I have been outsourcing using Fiverr since it’s early beginnings
The site has grown and appear even more serious (which it is and always has been) than before with more elements on the site stating it as a serious online vendor which is here to stay.

Today the site has gotten its own Forum where you can directly be in touch with other people just like you using the platform.

Fiverr Academy: This is a section of the site with sole purpose of helping you sell better by using tracking, marketing and more performance insights.

They also have their own blog where they share more insights from their own view. Newly added a to the site is a store where you can buy items with their logo.

The imagination is what stops you if you want to just do something fun and out of the ordinary for your friends also.
While outsourcing using Fiverr can get you tedious tasks done for cheaps, you may want to look at the other options, just for kicks.

Some of the other gigs offered on Fiverr are:
Pet models, human billboards, dares, stunts, or you can go to Fiverr.com and browse for Extremely Bizarre gigs like:

Basically you can order services for most things needed for a website owner.

But also have a blast out of the other weird gigs if you wish.

Outsourcing using Fiverr is easy.

How is it to sell on Fiverr?

The selling process is the same, almost.

You can easily write the details of what service you offer and post it onto Fiverr spending less than 10 minutes.

Depends on what you offer and how many extras you add of course but the process is simple and fast.

Yes! I want to do outsourcing using Fiverr

It is reported that some sellers get big paydays because of more than one factor:

Popularity of the gig is a thing.

Your skillset is a thing.

Speed of task, like if you are quick you an have a great turnaround time on gigs and process as many as you want to during the day.

Some gigs can be done by quick labor and some can be semi or fully automated by software.

Most gigs require a skillset none the less, but read on till the end to see how you can make money outsourcing using Fiverr without any particular skill.

And also how you market your gigs is a thing.

While Fiverr has it’s site where people come and order, you can always spread the link to you gig elsewhere for more traffic and more work for you.

Outsourcing with Fiverr should be something you check out before you get tired of doing the same time consuming tasks day in and day out IF you have enough for a cup of coffee…
Then you can skip the coffee, hire a worker and take that short break to rest your entrepreneurial head so it is ready for more productive tasks.

While Fiverr is cheap you can make money there you see. But did you know that there are many sites and clients out there wanting services like Fiverr offer?

You can totally use Fiverr and make a business out of outsourcing using Fiverr a task/gig/project a client you have corresponded with need.

This is where you can make EVEN more while not working so hard. All you need to do is to search for people looking to buy gigs like banner design or other.

Contact client and state what you can offer which is relative to his liking. State a price.

Often the price i.e an offline client, consultant service, plumber or other, looking to buy a banner for their website has a different view on what you offer cost.

You can expect to get a high return on your investement. Prices around $200 dollars are not rare for banners.

Which you can get FOR FIVE DOLLARS when outsourcing using Fiverr.

Best books for entrepreneurs

October 30, 2015 by Rune Ellingsen

Best Books for Entrepreneurs. Some of them are in the category, “must-have”.

Your pc monitor or tablet certainly work as a reading platform, but our eyes read paper material much easier.

Today I will make a list of some of the best books for entrepreneurs which helped shaped me, and also guided me into the entrepreneurial world.

But first, let me elaborate on the subject of why.

Why one should read books on top of all the information which is laid out online:

First off, less clutter.

Better for the eyes.

And also usually more sustainable information. This depends on what you read of course but “stick” with me here.

There are many books to choose from and many authors to follow.

First, let me start off by mentioning the first of the best books for entrepreneurs I remember reading over and over.

The first on the list of the best books for entrepreneurs is called “Think and Grow Rich” and is written by a man named Napoleon Hill.

If this is the first time you hear about his book and you consider yourself an entrepreneur or simply want to start a small business but lack some guidance and/or vision, then this is for you.

This book takes you far back into the depths of your mind where you visualize and suggests ideas ready to be materialized.

It gives you a mental direction with a focus on the task you have set yourself out to do. With this, you will have more focus.

And yes it is a MUST HAVE in your collection.

I cannot write about how much this book meant to me because it really is priceless. I have it in written form and on audio. Been through it several times.

The second of the best books for entrepreneurs is on fire in terms of thinking like a free individual in a fast pace is DRUM ROLL:

“The Four Hour Work Week” by

Tim Ferriss.

This book is very different than most of what you have read in the past, I would assume.

If you are familiar with it then great. If not, you should. This one should be in your collection AND you should follow Tim Ferriss on FB as he posts a lot there about his lifestyle.

And the lifestyle… Is very free. For some controversial. For others, a mind opener/blower or whatever you want to call it. That’s when you can’t put the book down and are getting intrigued by the “off the hook” approach to getting you to enjoy life at low cost, STILL living luxurious and without boundaries and willing and wanting to explore every aspect of life.

Totally another MUST HAVE for your collection.

The third of the best books for entrepreneurs in this post is called

“The Ultimate Sales Letter: Attract New Customers. Boost Your sales.”

You can find more info on the author Dan Kennedy(!) here: GKIC.com

It’s in the title. Proven Formula for creating an efficient sales letter.

Highly recommended from many big names in the industry. Do check it out.

The fourth of the best books for entrepreneurs is called

“Words that Sell: More than 6000 Entries to Help You Promote Your Products, Services, and Ideas“

Richard Bayan wrote this. His book gets the recommendation from About.com as the No.1 resource for the copy. Visit his site here: Richard Bayan

A powerful book filled with words that evoke special feelings in people.

Some grab you in and hold your attention more than others.

Really one of the books I open a lot.

Number five on the best books for entrepreneurs list book is called

“CA$HVERTISING: How to Use More than 100 Secrets of Ad-Agency Psychology to Make Big Money Selling Anything to Anyone“

Must have!!! Written by “The Direct Response Surgeon: Drew Eric Whitman. Learn more about Drew here: Drew Eric Whitman Official Website

Really one of the best books for entrepreneurs as it contains so many spot-on methods you can leverage in your business.

Love this one for its blunt talk and highly effective writings.

Number six on our list of the best books for entrepreneurs book is called

“Buy Now: Creative Marketing that Gets Customers to Respond to You and Your Product“

Man behind this one is no other than Rick Cesari. With help from Ron Lynch. Learn about Rick and his team here: Cesari Direct

Found it to be of interest even though it touches shopping network ads.

It’s about those commercials you see on tv. You know from the shopping channel.

Insights from this book can be used elsewhere in advertising also.

Very good read.

The Seventh of the best books for entrepreneurs book is called

“Rich Dad Poor Dad: What The Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!“.

For those who are new to the game and have not heard of it before… The author is Robert T. Kiyosaki. Get to know him here: Who Is Robert T Kiyosaki?

The story of a kid growing up listening to two fathers. One poor and one rich.

The choices are obvious in some instances, financially, what decision should be made by either one of the two if faced with the same financial dilemma.

Observing this gives you an insight into making smarter choices for yourself.

Book number eight of the best books for entrepreneurs is called

“Predictably Irrational, Revised and Expanded Edition: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions“

Interesting book from Dan Ariely. Get to know him here: DanAriely.com

…Gets into the mind of consumers. When we go out and buy anything we are in a particular mode.

We can predict this but we as far as I can tell we have trouble letting it go completely.

Still reading this one.

Number 9 out of 10 of the best books for entrepreneurs is called

“The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business”

Harvard Business school in ONE book. Written by Josh Kaufman. You can visit his site here: JoshKaufman.net

Still reading this one. Impressed over all of the nuggets so far.

Marked so many pages for later reading and writing. Valuable.

The Tenth on the list of best book for entrepreneurs is called

“How to Practice Suggestion and Autosuggestion“

It’s an oldie but goodie.

Using brain power, thoughts… You can set yourself in a different vibration. A different mindset if you will. This book is old but covers the study of what you can call self hypnosis.

Author is the late Emil Coue.

Learn more of him here: Durbon Hypnosis – Coue And Here: Wikipedia – Emil Coue

I like this one a lot.

It was one of the first books I read on the topic.

*Note. The url: www.Emilcoue.com is not relevant.

This list would not be complete ever, without at least adding this;

“Influence“, by Robert Cialdini.

One of THE absolute best books on human buying psychology. You can use only this and get an understanding of what makes people buy. You can use it offline and online.

You can use it offline and online.

Combine this with Cashvertising and words that sell and you have a power house of knowledge. Apply this is every marketing feat you do if you want the powerful edge they bring,

Combine more of the books for more control, but these are the top three.

If you want to learn more see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Cialdini

These are just some of what I have in my personal collection. I tried to make the list comprehensive and varied.

By reading this best books for entrepreneurs post you have a very good advantage when starting out as an entrepreneur.
They fit each other well. So you’re off to a good start.

Some would say 10 Books for Entrepreneurs is not enough, ever. And I totally agree.
The best books for entrepreneurs are the ones that resonate with you and your desires and make you fired up and makes you take action.
These books do that.
There are more quality books out there but as mentioned, this is an excellent selection for anyone going into entrepreneurship and wanting to have the best start.

If you want to keep on growing then the list should only get bigger.
Take notes of the books in your community. The ones with the highest recommendations from your most trusted peers would do.
That is if you cannot find them on Amazon for yourself… There are always some nuggets hidden from your sight so go elsewhere also.

Be sure to TAKE NOTES WHEN YOU READ instead of skimming through the book for a quick read only to re-read it later and take notes then.
Best way to digest and program the tactics inside these gems would be to take notes actively.

All in all, I want you to enjoy the post.

Read books and grow.

The latest book I read was “ASK”.

About the ASK method.

Google it for more information if you liked this post.

Hopefully you have enjoyed this list of the “best” books for entrepreneurs.

Keep Momentum

March 23, 2015 by Rune Ellingsen

Keep Momentum is my personal little story to you, based upon my own experiences.

I used to repeat this to myself out loud, “Keep Momentum!”… Momentum was the driving force that gave me increased energy for reaching my goals fast.

Some time ago, 6 months plus, my motivation for sitting in front of the computer stopped.

Sure it was summer and I love the outdoors and all but when night came I didn’t fire up either the laptop or the pc to get stuff done.

Emails and Facebook got checked on daily basis if i was home. “Sleeping brain symptom” you might wanna call it.

Been ages since I have written any blog posts also.

*For more info about momentum look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum

momentum

So what happened with my momentum?

I had worked a lot of hours since 2009 to be exact and needed a longer break from the usual.

My head was not in focus and needed to clear the clogged up channels within the information center of our body.

During the time away the need for nature was great. So hiking and exploring,travelling and various sports was in tune.

Still… I thought(!) I was working(…) for a while even though all I did was to keep up with the Jones’s of marketing… Reading emails is NOT doing efficient tasks that will propel your business forward. Making stuff to sell, taking action and promoting + scaling is what get real results that are measurable.

Text day in and day out, just input… won’t cut it. That’s what I figured at least. Again.

Earlier before getting traction in the business, I studied heavily how to alter my mind with meditation techniques and such to align myself into a healthier and wealthier mindset.
Momentum was mentioned many times. Alas…

At some point I stopped and it faded.

So the lesson was clear:

My mindset was good.

But it was not “sticky” enough for me to hold.

My old paradigms took over and made me less structured, less business focused and put me on a sort of a vacation basically.

When I started getting back into rhythm, the sufferings of bad conscious was all over me. I felt I had let myself and my fellow marketers down.

I can get kinda emotional about the work when the times are tough. Still I will never let it beat me.

So anyways the ride took me through some emotional moments and I figured out when I was at my desk by the pc again that this could not happen again.

I can take breaks and vacations alright. But I cannot evade from who I am. Who I have become.

The need to check in and do stuff on a regular basis will always be there. Just like when we read a good book. You will always learn more and read another one. And you should!

Join us and many others and give yourself traffic numbers you can measure to succeeed with performance marketing.

Keep momentum and you will grow.

Stop that momentum… Just for a day and you are set back a day or two.

Wait six months and you gotta rethink you whole business.

Perhaps the ultimate would be for anyone to find out their individual limit as to what is their threshold before stress.

We are not equal in every aspect of life… I think we can all suffer from a burnt out mind/body.

Be healthy. Meditate. Grow momentum.

And the ultimate lesson for me was that I could not let the momentum i had built, fade away.
Keep momentum and keep sanity 😉 Oh, and make money!

Stuff to look for in coming posts:

Diving into ADS

Diving into Teespring

Diving into Amazon sites

Top resources for online use plus much more.

Until next time.

I wish you all the best, but remember…

YOU have to keep momentum!
